Wash and trim the ends of the broccolini. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Sprinkle in the red chilli flakes and stir for another 10 seconds to release their flavor.
Add the broccolini to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly in the garlic and chilli mixture.
Pour in the soy sauce and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccolini is tender but still crisp.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the broccolini and toss to combine.
Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately.
